Best Efficiency Point (B.E.P) We hear a lot about operating pumps at the best efficiency point from pump manufacturers and engineers. It is noted on most pump curve drawings and is common terminology implementing or troubleshooting pump installations. The Best Efficiency Point (B.E.P.) is described as the point where we have the least amount [...]
Factors Involved In Determining Pump Performance When working with pumps, you are sure to encounter instances where the pump curve is referenced along with a number of parameters associated with it. A key parameter of the pump curve is the Best Efficiency Point (BEP). For electric motors, efficiency varies with the load, the best [...]
Many of the pump failures we see on a daily basis are caused due to an issue with a mechanical seal or bearing. The lifespan of seals and bearings will be dramatically reduced when shafts are misaligned or excess vibration is present. A sometimes overlooked cause of misalignment or vibration is due to the failure [...]

Pump curve, system curve data needed to determine change in pump speed: Affinity laws state that a change in pump speed has a cubed effect on the required power. However, when pump speed is changed, the resulting operating point will likely move left or right on the curve, relative to the Best Efficiency Point (BEP). [...]
